HEAR FROM ASPIRE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES

"I genuinely feel ready to tackle my college auditions. In such a complicated process, Aspire made it as simple as possible. My time with Aspire has been education, fun, and so beneficial. I truly cannot thank Aspire enough."

—Emily, Aspire Student
"Before Aspire, I didn’t even have the confidence in myself that I’d get into any musical theatre program at all. Not only did all of that change when I started working with everyone, but I even got to start prioritizing schools that honored me for exactly the performer I am! With the undying support and encouragement from Grace, Julie and the rest of the Aspire team I wouldn’t be in the position I am right now to chase my passion in my home city. The Aspire family isn’t just for the few short months of the audition process, it truly is forever and I am so grateful for them!"

—Sofia, Aspire Student
"Our son was able to create goals and deadlines with his coach. Picking "just right" material for his style and voice. Having an outside coach and team assist with deadlines was excellent for family dynamics in the stressful process of preparing for prescreens and MT auditions."

—Dee, Aspire Parent

College auditions are not for the weak. But every prescreen, every audition, every callback, every “no,” every pivot, and every moment of uncertainty can lead somewhere incredible. ❤️ We’re so excited to begin sharing our 2026 Senior Commitment spotlights starting tomorrow and celebrate where Aspire seniors are headed next. To every student and family who made it through this year’s college audition process: congratulations. Truly. YOU DID IT. 🎉 And to the juniors starting to look ahead and already feeling overwhelmed — you do not have to navigate this process alone. We would love to support you, help you build a roadmap, and make the college audition process feel as manageable (and as fun!) as possible. 🎭 Registration closes May 15! 🔗 Save your spot at the link in bio! 📩 Want to book a free consult?

She went through the college audition process herself and graduated with her BFA from CCM (the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music).

It all started when Joe and Julie auditioned for CCM right after each other. Nine months later, they were in the same Musical Theatre class—and fast forward four years, they were playing husband and wife in A Little Night Music their senior year! Joe is a New York–based actor. He received his BFA in Musical Theatre from CCM before moving to London to pursue his MFA in Acting at Drama Centre London—where he also spent time studying and working in Moscow. He has originated a number of roles Off-Broadway and performed at regional theatres across the country. Some favorite roles include Jonathan in tick, tick…BOOM!, Berger in HAIR, and Dr. Pomatter in Waitress. He has also appeared across the globe as Orsino in Twelfth Night at the Studio Theatre in London and Ivanov in Ivanov at the Vahktangov Theatre in Moscow! ✨ Fun Facts: 💻 Joe founded and runs two tech companies. 🐶 His Goldendoodle, Islay, insists on being in frame anytime we’re on Zoom. 🌟 We are so thrilled to welcome Joe to the Aspire Team! 🌟 #collegeprep #collegecoach #collegeauditions #musicaltheatre #theatrekid
